A very nice tribute. Daffy is one of the characters I most admire. In his early films, he was the kind of unstoppable force of nature cartoon characters have been said to be, while later on he matured into a perpetual schemer whose aims always blow up in his face.

I've naturally written about him in my non-fiction works but also in my fiction. My story "Fangirl, Rip and the Loon" has a character modeled on the early Daffy, while my recurring series character Jefferson Ball has a personality modeled on the later one.

What I like about Daffy Duck is that it’s usually his cockiness that gets him into bother, his tenacity that gets him out of it, and his sarcastic attitude that makes it all so fun to watch. 😈

Great post! It’s fascinating to see how Daffy has evolved throughout the years. I’m looking forward to your Disney series later this year 😍
